The Tigers weren’t quite as sharp or energetic on Monday; clearly, they were a little tired from going two-a-days on Saturday and Sunday. Still, by normal standards, they were very good. At least, that was the feedback from Foxsports.com’s Jeff Goodman, who was in town to watch practice and came away impressed.
A few quick hitters:
– Monday might have been the best I’ve ever seen Antonio Anderson shoot the ball.
– At times, Doneal Mack (right) looks like the best player on the floor. Not only is he shooting the heck out of the ball, but every aspect of his game is improving. He’s giving Chris Douglas-Roberts all he can handle right now.
– In terms of getting the ball in the high post and scoring from 15 feet and in, Shawn Taggart has pro ability. Taggart’s biggest problem right now is learning to go full speed all the time. Coach John Calipari has been on him constantly about sprinting down court.
– Everybody who has been in the gym so far, from media to scouts to visiting coaches, has come away more impressed with Derrick Rose than they expected.
Tuesday is the final day of Fall Break at the U of M, and thus, the final two-a-day in this stretch. The Tigers will get back on a more regular schedule Wednesday.

first of all I would like to give the Memphis family and the coaching staff a big up! for supporting and give the young men who plays for them a place to help them develop into young men. I speak from first hand knowledge when I say Doneal Mack is a young man that has always understood that nothing good can happen until you focus and put in hard work, that started with him always being humble and listening to those coaches,player, and family that support him,and understand here a good kid that wants to be well thought of as a young man. Now as far as basketball is concern Memphis you have a gift now that his teammate understand his commintment to winning,they now believe and understand getting him involved when it count will allow his teammate to control the game, and because of his understanding of the game on both ends of the court,I believe that Mack is one of the best shut down on the ball guards in the country and that lead to win.
because he never been in any other enviroment they will
